Meh, that series is getting tired.

It's come to the point were I just don't care if most of them sink or swim based upon their turd-punchery.

Even though I enjoyed the series at first, it's no longer anything I follow.  It is a hard life they choose, but a profitable one.  Many of them work 5-6 months a year, and play the rest.  

Discovery/History Channel (and such) used to actually have good programming.  Real Science/History, etc.  Once they hit with this show, and it hit big, all the rest of the "learning channels" followed suit.  Now you can't find anything on any of them except "Swamp People/Ax Men/ Deadliest Catch or whatever End of the World/ UFO crap they can find".  Not a single one of those shows contributes an iota of value.  Even Science Channel has followed the rest with "Mantracker".  Smithsonian might be the last bastion of actual learning on TV.

Sad, our viewing habits as a country.

PBS/NOVA has some really good programming as well. Its amazing that there is still a network (and public broadcast at that!) that presents its material without resorting to sound-byte, attention-grabbing gimmicks or popular culture references.

This X 100.  I used to like to tune in on shows about subjects I knew nothing about.  Not much of that available anymore.

I've got an AWESOME idea for a TV show! We can get a group of people who insert from list below into this space, and we can film them while they argue, throw tantrums, form cliques, insult each other, and generally act like drama queen high school girls! It'll be a HIT!!!

possibilities for above:

run a commercial fishing boat
build motorcycles
drive tractor-trailer trucks
run a commercial crabbing boat
run a pawn shop
live on an island and participate in a contrived silly game
build cars
customize cars

etc etc etc


No wonder people from older generations look down on people today. It seems like every day the average intelligence of the population drops by double digits. Reality TV's success is a flashing neon sign warning that the idea that we as a society will eventually evolve (devolve) into an "Idiocracy," and no one seems to notice or care.

 :rofl  That, of course, begs the question...  Which five to eight AH players would make for the best programming?

Shall we nominate a few?   :D
